Day 3 Growing in Unity - With Sympathy

It's hard to believe we are halfway through the week.  It's Wednesday and day 3 of Growing In Unity.  For today's Unity project I wanted to try something new, tri-fold card or tri-shutter card.  Lots of fun, but lots of work.  

Here's the front.


For the front I used Unity Tulips & Daisies stamp set for the image and Heartfelt Sympathy for the sentiment.  The image was colored with my trusty water colorpencils and colorpencils.  I wanted a rich  royal color paper, but needed to make sure all the dp papers were soft and not overpowering to the design. I hope I succeeded in what I was trying to create


When these tri-fold cards are unfolded, there is some much depth to them.  I really like the way they look.


For the center panel I used Unity All About HOPE stamp for the sentiment.


For the last panel, I broke the rules a little and didn't use a Unity stamp for this one, it's from Stampin Up Thoughts & Prayers stamp set.  

It was fun trying something new and different.  I really like the way the card turned out.

Here's the Unity stamp sets I used to make this card:








thanks for looking and reading :o)


stamps used: Unity-Tulips & Daisies, Heartfelt Sympathy, and All About HOPE, SU-Thoughts & Prayers

paper used: Brazzil, DP-Union Square Lost & Found

It's neat how the outside doesn't hint at the intricate design of the inside. Nice!

The lacey background looks like a doily or placemat under the flowers. You are so creative.
